I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, folks. We're continuing our study on Bill C-44, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Employment Insurance Act and to make consequential amendments to the Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Regulations.
We're very happy to have with us today Fred Phelps, from the Canadian Association of Social Workers; Tyler Hnatuk, from the Canadian Association for Community Living; and, of course, Cathy Loblaw, from Ronald McDonald House Charities.
We'll start with your comments of five to 10 minutes and then we'll open the floor for questions. We very much appreciate your coming here today to help us with this study.
Ms. Loblaw, we'll start with you.
